He has a tough road ahead and it will take something bigger than football to get him through this.

I hope he has a good support system around him to help rise above this obstacle. If getting kicked off a football team saves his life and future, then consider it a blessing.

It’s no surprise that Mo’s fave college player is the Honey Badger. I even took him to the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta for him to see Tyrann play up close. I used this situation to teach Mo a life lesson: No matter how good you are, you have to adhere to the rules.

We have to remember athletes are human. Tyrann is 20 year old college Junior facing a huge crossroad.

Fans love and praise you when you’re winning, but Moms and people who love you support you throughout.

Stay strong and focused young Tiger.

From adversity grows character. May you have the same heart and strength of a champion OFF the field that you did ON the field for LSU.

So glad Tyrann is focusing on healing himself. Football will be there.

**Update** After sitting out a year of football, Tyrann had another run in with drugs. He has since turned his life around under the tutelage of former teammate and NFL Pro Bowler Patrick Peterson. He has been training mentally and physically to turn his life around. He plans to prove himself at the NFL Combine despite not playing college football for a year.

*Sidenote, I am a LSU fan, but had this been a top player from another top football institution, I’d have the same opinion. It wouldn’t hit as close to home, especially since this is my son’s fave player. But I would never kick a 20 year old facing a major crossroad. As an adult and mom, I’m beyond that. *
